How To Make taco cups:

These crunchy taco cup snacks are simple to put together. Start with wonton wrappers which can be found in most markets in the refrigerated produce section.

Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and place two wonton wrappers in each spot, give the top one a quick turn so that the edges don’t line up perfectly, but so that you have 8 corners, almost like a flower.

Then top with some shredded cheese. Bake the cups. And load up with the other toppings after baking. My favorites include lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and cilantro.

Ingredients  

Taco Meat

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce

Taco Cups

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • ½ cup grape tomatoes sliced
  • sour cream
  • diced cilantro

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Cook ground beef in a medium size skillet over medium heat. Break part while cooking for 5-7 minutes or until beef is browned and no longer pink.
  • Drain grease, return to low heat, add taco seasoning and tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Place one wonton wrapper in the bottom of each muffin tin. Press the wrapper all the way down and around the edges so that it sticks to the non-stick spray. Lay another wrapper over top slightly turned to create 8 corners. Press down same way.
  • Fill each cup with about 2 tablespoons of taco meat, most of the way full. Top with shredded cheese.
  • Bake for about 13-15 minutes until the edges are browned and crispy and cheese is melted.
  • Carefully remove each cup. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and cilantro.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.
